Bro is literally 9 and breaking world records whereas here I am still not knowing how to cook 😭

[cuyoch]

I competed in this competition and I will never forget that I witnessed this world record in person. It was really amazing for me!

[thatverseguy]

Dude has the most serious look on his face solving all of that. I see only progress for him here.

I'm almost 54 years old. Got my first cube when I was 10 and I could barely solve 3 sides at the most. Of course, now I know that's not the way to do it. I just recently got back into it for some reason. I watched a lot videos and studied algorithms for about 2 weeks. I can solve it easily now but not NEARLY as fast as this kid. But for me, it was an accomplishment.

I started cubing when I was 8. Im 15 now and my PB is 12 seconds and it has been for a few years. This kid is 9 and cubing for who knows how long and breaking the WR. absolutely insane. This kid is a prodigy and is going places.

[lutimstrickshots]

We all thought the battle for the greatest 3x3 cuber was between Tymon and Max until some 9 year old kid just smashed the record.
Edit: Yiheng did it again, he's insane

[eyeamagrape]

Guinness World Records! you have done an excellent job explaining what happens during competitions and how he beat the record!
You thoroughly explained everything that happened and I'm still so shocked a 9 year old just got the wr for 3x3x3 average taking the record of Tymon Kolasinski!!!

[sanjukumar]

Such a quick and gentle correction at such a young
age is really admirable🙌

[dzpeibq]

Great editing. Speedcubing is no easy task, these young competitors really inspire me to do my best in my life.

[salamander]

considering the low amount of competitions yiheng has done, he didnt just get lucky. he could do this again for sure.

[igorsiuda]

First time: 4:354
Second time: 3:906 (fastest)
Third time: 4.416
Fourth time: 5:312
Fifth time: 6:164 (slowest)
Average time: 4:69

[speedcubingdotorg]

He has finally done it this time! I do think that Tymon Kolasinski will return with far more efficient solutions to retake it in the next year, over the next few years we will find the balance between extremely fast turning and extremely efficient solutions.

I predict he will get an official sub 3 second single in the next 2.5 years, if he continues cubing and entering comps.

[Sahil_Ansari_]

The way Yiheng was reacting, clearly shows that he knew that, he can create history 💪🔥

[ADM_RAMconsumingfox]

Street cuber: I'm fast! I'm smart! No one can beat me with my 50-seconds solves!
Yiheng: Hold my Gan, my age and my citizenship

[vVearon]

this kid has only been cubing for a few years, original world record holder, Max Park, has been cubing since he was his age. now he is in his 20s.

[junito]

I have the record of the SLOWEST…The competition started last month and I’m still trying to solve it !!

[JeremyGReviews]

Beautiful; this generation of speedcubers are incredible! I still remember when the world record was 10 seconds

[ROAMitRALPH]

I’m the world’s slowest cuber. All these years and I’m still trying to figure it out

[yangshao]

He has showed the mature and calm at this age is unbelievable.
